        "content": "<p>PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) continues to bolster support for the\nagricultural sector by optimising the distribution of subsidised\nfertiliser and strengthening synergy with farmers in Takalar Regency,\nSouth Sulawesi, ahead of the third planting season.<\/p>\n<p>These efforts are being carried out through the \u2018Rembuk Tani\u2019 and\n\u2018Joint Redemption of Subsidised Fertiliser\u2019 activities in Takalar\nRegency, which bring together Pupuk Indonesia with local governments,\nagricultural extension officers, distribution businesses (PUD),\nfertiliser delivery points (PPTS), and farmers to strengthen\ncoordination and discuss field-level agricultural needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPupuk Indonesia continues to strive to ensure that subsidised\nfertiliser is available and distributed to eligible farmers in\naccordance with the allocation and provisions established by the\ngovernment,\u201d said the Director of Asset Management at PT Puplag\nIndonesia, Tri Wahyudi Saleh, in a statement from Makassar on\nFriday.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that Pupuk Indonesia is committed to ensuring that\nsubsidised fertiliser is available and distributed to farmers according\nto the \u20187 Right\u2019 principle, which includes being right in type,\nquantity, price, time, place, quality, and target.<\/p>\n<p>Tri added that support for farmers is provided not only through\nfertiliser supply but also through enhanced coordination with local\ngovernments, extension officers, distribution businesses (PUD), and\nfertiliser delivery points (PPTS). He noted that effective communication\nhelps identify needs and obstacles early so they can be addressed\ncollectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, collaboration among all parties must continue to be\nstrengthened so that the distribution process runs optimally and\nfarmers\u2019 needs can be met,\u201d said Tri.<\/p>\n<p>Based on data as of 15 September 2026, the realisation of subsidised\nfertiliser distribution in Takalar Regency has reached 17,167 tonnes, or\n58 per cent of the 29,776-tonne allocation. Out of a total of 29,068\nfarmers registered in the e-RDKK, 18,313 farmers, or 63 per cent, have\ncompleted their redemptions.<\/p>\n<p>Pupuk Indonesia also ensures the availability of subsidised\nfertiliser in the region. As of 16 September 2026, the stock of\nsubsidised fertiliser in Takalar Regency was recorded at 2,042 tonnes,\navailable through official PPTS of PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) in\naccordance with applicable allocations and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Regional CEO 4 of PT Pupuk Indonesia, Wisnu Ramadhani, stated that\nthe smooth distribution of subsidised fertiliser requires strong synergy\nfrom upstream to downstream, including the active role of local\ngovernments, extension officers, PUD, PPTS, and farmers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe continue to encourage the entire fertiliser distribution\necosystem to operate optimally. Not only ensuring the availability of\nfertiliser, but also ensuring the distribution process follows\nregulations and is accessible to farmers with allocations. Synergy with\nall stakeholders is key to maintaining this smoothness,\u201d said Wisnu.<\/p>\n<p>According to Wisnu, entering the third planting season serves as a\nmomentum for all parties to increase coordination and ensure farmers\u2019\nneeds are prepared in advance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope the established coordination can continue to be\nstrengthened, so that various needs or obstacles in the field can be\ncommunicated and addressed immediately. Thus, farmers can carry out\ntheir cultivation activities with the support of available fertiliser\naccording to their needs and allocation,\u201d added Wisnu.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to ensuring fertiliser availability, Pupuk Indonesia is\ncontinuously undertaking various optimisation efforts for distribution\nin South Sulawesi, including strengthening stock resilience at official\nPPTS, education and assistance programmes, as well as regular\ncoordination and evaluation with regional stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Through these various efforts, Pupuk Indonesia is committed to\ncontinuously improving service quality and ensuring that the\ndistribution of subsidised fertiliser proceeds according to\nregulations.<\/p>\n<p>This support is expected to assist farmers in preparing for the third\nplanting season, while simultaneously supporting the sustainability of\nagricultural productivity in Takalar Regency and South Sulawesi.<\/p>",
